Even More Dagon Vibes

Dagon
Even More Dagon Vibes

The picture shown above once again gives me Dagon vibes. Not the biblical Dagon, but the Lovecraftian creature. The picture source is Meta. The artist is not known to me, but I have traced it back to user StevetheHunterofTri on DeviantArt. Another place identifies the artist as Layrensij Ursa. It appears in several places online, and some entitle it "Dagon."

Dagon Vibes

Dagon Vibes
Dagon Vibes

The picture shown above gives me "Dagon vibes." Not the biblical Dagon, but the Lovecraftian creature. The picture source is Meta. The artist is not known to me.

"Then suddenly I saw it. With only a slight churning to mark its rise to the surface, the thing slid into view above the dark waters. Vast, Polyphemus-like, and loathsome, it darted like a stupendous monster of nightmares to the monolith, about which it flung its gigantic scaly arms, the while it bowed its hideous head and gave vent to certain measured sounds. I think I went mad then."

Sarcophagus

Sarcophagus
Sarcophagus - Author's Collection

The picture shows a reproduction Egyptian sarcophagus. The lid comes off and there is a representation of a mummy inside (not shown). I don't remember how much the price was for this piece. I think I bought it from Hobby Lobby.

Geb

Geb
Geb - Author's Collection

The above is a statue of the Egyptian god "Geb." I think I bought it at Hobby Lobby, or maybe Crafts Etc. Geb has a goose on his head and bears a staff topped with a jackal's head. The base of the statue reads, "Geb," but it's almost impossible to see. I did a rubbing on the statue to find out the name. Geb also carries an ankh in his left hand.

Star Trek Decorative Plates

Star Trek Decorative Plates
Star Trek Decorative Plates - Author's Collection

I don't remember where I bought these. I do know that I bought them from the internet. The backs of the plates read, "Star Trek starships mini plate collection. Edition limited to 28 firing days." The plates are branded with "The Hamilton Collection." One of the plates shows the USS Enterprise-D, and the second is a Romulan warbird. I found one of the plates online that was selling for 15 (US) dollars.

RMS Titanic

RMS Titanic
RMS Titanic

The Titanic was called the RMS Titanic because it carried mail (Royal Mail Ship). It was primarily a passenger liner. The vessel sank, famously, (or infamously) on its maiden voyage to the states. The ship went down in 1915 after having struck an iceberg. At least 1,500 people lost their lives in the disaster. I have no information about the artwork posted above. I suspect (don't know) that it is the work of artist Ken Marschall.

Artwork

Several things cross my mind about the image above. Is it cold in the picture? Is it warm? At what time was the artwork created? Who is the artist? Is it AI-generated? I don't know the answer to any of those questions, but it's a beautiful picture. Source: Meta via Weird, Fantastic, Beautiful and Odd. The artist is unknown.

Obelisk

Obelisk
Obelisk - Author's Collection

The pictured decorative obelisk was bought at Crafts Etc. or maybe Hobby Lobby. I've had it for many years. I have no clue if the hieroglyphics mean anything or not. In the picture, it's sitting in front of some of my Star Wars "stuff." In Dobbs City, a fictional town that appears in my short stories, there is a weathered obelisk located at the city's old square.

Seriously Spooky Art

Ghoulish Vibes

Whether it's a ghoul, phantom, revenant, or "what have you," this picture gave me some serious Lovecraft vibes. It reeks of...something. The source is Meta via Spectral Insomnia. The artist is unknown.

Stone Metals

Stone Metals Horse
Stone Metals Horse - Auther's Picture

After I wasted my time with internet price searches, I realized that the price was on the package. It's less than $10. If you're interested in these models (I, personally, am not), try to find one anywhere other than online. These things will set you back at least $50 (from what I saw on the internet).

Their website is here.

Zombie Hand

Return of the Dead
Return of the Dead

I think this image is quite spooky. My favorite movies in the zombie genre are Dawn of the Dead (2004) and Return of the Living Dead II. At any rate, I think the image is good artwork. The source is Meta. The artist is unknown.

Burial Mask

Burial Mask
Burial Mask - Author's Collection

This is just a reproduction ("whatnot") of an Egyptian burial mask. I found it several years ago. It was inside a "shadow box," and I ended up, somehow, breaking the box. I think things like this are popular, mainly, because of King Tutankhamen's famous (mostly) golden burial mask. Did you know there are also silver burial masks?

Texas Decoration

Texas Art
Texas Art

My mom is always working on DIY crafts and crafts that she comes up with on her own. She's made all kinds of beaded decorations, "dream catchers," and more. She's not limited to beads. She's done a lot of woodwork over the years. When I saw her Texas decoration and commented on it, which I think is red in color, she offered to make me one. I finally decided that I would like one in blue, with a white border. The blue color is made of a plastic grid-type of material. The white border is made from 1/4" bias tape. I may need to find a better way to hang it, but I'm very happy with it.

Stele of Hathor

Stele of Hathor
Stele of Hathor - Author's Collection

The pictured stele/stela appears to be of the goddess Hathor featuring horns with a sun disk. It measures about 5" tall and 2.5" wide. It was once housed in a shadow box, but the frame broke. I threw the frame away, but I kept the artwork. I have no clue what the hieroglyphics say or if they say anything at all. They may just be for decoration. However, the top left symbol is an inverted glyph that, when turned in the opposite direction, can be read as "Hathor."

I don't know about bigger, but if Cthulhu is around, I'd say "faster boat."

Deep Ones - Happy Halloween!

The Shadow Over Innsmouth. The Deep Ones. Lovecraftian Mythos. I don't know the title of this work, and I don't know the artist. It does work for a final 2025 Halloween image, in my opinion. Happy Halloween!

More Halloween artwork as we head towards the day. The image's OP states, "The best time of the year is finally here." I don't know about that, but it is definitely the season of spooky artwork.

Specifically, the posted image shows Klingon D-7 K'Tinga Class Battlecruisers. It is a nice piece of work. I have a couple of these from a Micro Machines set.
